Fire roars through Laurel twice in one night
Two major blazes struck Laurel last night within hours, beginning near 1 a.m. at the X. O. ML & G railroad roundhouse and then consuming a large frame house of W. A. Dunigan on Fifth Street and Seventh Avenue. Firefighters contained both fires with no injuries. Dunigan estimates a $1,000 loss with minimal insurance. The second blaze prompted speculation on its cause as lightning, rats, or spontaneous combustion, per the fire chief and local resident Dunigan.
